Abstract(s)
A Acupunctura Veterinária é cada vez mais popular no Mundo como tratamento ou como parte de uma abordagem terapêutica em conjunto com a medicina convencional. Neste contexto, o presente projeto teve como objetivo principal o estudo e a avaliação da acupunctura em animais com sinais clínicos músculo-esqueléticos e melhorar a compreensão do uso de implante de ouro em diversas patologias de acordo com o grau de lesão do animal. Iniciámos o estudo focalizando a nossa atenção no enquadramento teórico, decorrendo este de uma síntese de estudos realizados por diversos autores neste domínio. Na segunda parte, apresentamos as várias fases de um processo completo e organizado de avaliação da dor num total de 12 animais através da Escala de Dor da Universidade de Glasgow, Escala de Dor Composta da Universidade De Colorado e a Escala Visual Analógica. Elaborámos, de seguida, um inquérito que posteriormente foi respondido por público-alvo (tutores de animais de companhia), de forma a avaliar a capacidade de reconhecimento e recetividade das Medicinas Alternativas.

In this context, the main objective of this project was the study and evaluation of acupuncture in animals with clinical signs (skeletal muscle) and to improve the understanding of the use of gold bead implant according to degree of injury of the animal. We started the study focusing our attention on the theoretical framework, which corresponding to a synthesis of studies by several authors in this field. In the second part, we present the various phases of a complete and organized pain assessment process in a total of 12 animals through the Glasgow Pain Composite Scale and Adapted Pain Scale of the University of Colorado and Analogic Visual Scale. After that, we made an inquiry that was later answered by the target audience (pet tutors), in order to evaluate the ability of recognition and receptivity of the Alternative Medicines.
